24. Trace due to Digital Equipment Corporation, collected by Jeff Mogul of Digital's Western Research Lab. This trace and others are available at http://ita.ee.lbl.gov/html/contrib/DEC-PKT.html. The TCP packets from the first one hour trace at this site were analyzed. The UDP trace traces analyzed also correspond to the first hour trace at this site.
